@@infernogamers168 yes, you need to check with your local authority to see what the rules are in your area. Nowadays you can get away with permitted development as long as you are within the rules; building control is required either way to ensure the work meets the latest regulations

About 6-8 weeks; depending upon the internal design and finishing work it may take a few weeks extra

Check with your local authority, should be allowed under permitted development guidelines but you’re responsible for making sure. I’d always advise paying a architect to do the design and drawings even if you don’t require planning, it’ll make the whole process much easier. Budget £40,000.00 with today’s prices

Usually there’s a partition wall so you can just extend upwards from there and put flashing on the wall to waterproof the joint between your wall and the neighbours roof.

Man, your kindness is so real. Thanks for taking the time, it means more than you know.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 Let’s discuss off YT as it’s not a best place for conversations kindly write down your WhatsApp number so I can text you myself, I have something amazing I’d love to introduce you to

It can be drilled and screws to the beam or an infill timber if needed, the most important part is to leave the recommended expansion gap around the frame to prevent heat expansion from binding on the doors. We would wedge the frame in situ and check all the levels and gaps; then expanding foam the frame in. Once dry you remove the wedges from the sides and top and add your fixings.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 what happens if you don't install either of those things?

@@depeshrai7290 Depends on the setup you have. Generally the idea is that when you say flush the toilet; the water flowing through the pipe pushes the air out in front of it and creates a vacuum/negative pressure behind it. Without and air vent it can suck out the water from the nearby water traps and then you’ll get the drain smell venting back in to the property

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 cheers

The beam has a plate welded at specific intervals along the bottom and spans the cavity to bear on the inner padstones and outer brickwork. It’s all calculated and designed by the structural engineer.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 Thanks for the response. Did you need to underpin the existing foundations?

@@liamodonnell9091 We wasn’t required to do anything to the foundation, usually we are only ever altering the foundation/footing if the design calls for a frame or box structure.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 Thanks for the info. I've designed a few frames with new offset pads. They usually go right to the edges though, looks like these still have good piers. Thanks for your responses, really appreciated. 👍

Sorry I hadn’t seen your message until now, I’d estimate around £40,000 with todays material costs.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 ok Great I shall start planning my bank heist now then 😅

It’s a time lapse camera, it takes pictures at regular intervals and pieces them together.

We have a structural engineer that calculates these things but if I remember correctly it was a 254x146x43ub with a 8mm plate welded at particular lengths and intervals to the bottom. This opening was 4.35m wide.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 is the plate that’s welded onto the bottom What supports the brickwork? Cheers

@@kurtmalpassbrickwork6255 yes the plate sits on the outside skin of brickwork to hold the face bricks. Make sure you use a cavity tray and weep vents to prevent damp inside

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 Thanks for the reply 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

It’s called a cavity wall system, in this case we have two thermalite airated concrete block walls spaced apart by 100mm; which is partially insulated by 50mm of PIR insulation board. It basically incorporates an air gap for insulation and keeps the wetter external wall away from the dry internal wall.

It was a while ago now but I think it was around £38,000.

The steel was calculated to take the required loads and just sits on concrete pad stones and brickwork. There is be need for additional support because everything is in compression and the return wall gives the torsional support

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 thank you for your answers

Brinno construction time lapse camera

thanks, It was approximately £38,000 including the internal works.

The first wall is just an extension of the original party wall which is build from solid 9” construction and the other walls are 4” cavity wall so toothing them in wouldn’t increase the strength at all. They are tied in afterwards with simpsons strong ties which are designed to be used for this reason.

That’s a lovely dream and in America and some places in Europe it’s still attainable but in the uk you need a lot of money and then you have to try and get the permission.

Around £38,000 with the internal work

It’s tied in using Simpson’s strong ties, there not toothed in because one is a solid 9” construction and the other is a 12” cavity wall with two 4” walls and a 4” cavity

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 ah, makes sense. Couldn’t see that clearly on the vid (especially after a few beers lol) Cheers. Nice build. Liked the use of fixing foam for the battens before p/b. I’ve started doing that recently. 👍

Approximately £38,000

That’s what is specified by the architect and there perfectly fine for up to three storeys high and being rendered and having a cavity there a better choice thermally

You need to budget £900 per panel in the door system and each panel should ideally be less than 90cm to reduce the stress on the components. So with a 5 meter opening the door would be approximately £4500. Then you have the Labour for installation at around £800 and any structural alterations on top of that.

@@pkpropertysolutionsltd701 how much in total was this job if you don’t mind me asking, just asking as I’m planning on getting this done

thanks, It took 8 weeks including the kitchen installation and internal works.

@Cool Calm Collective This was a customer supplied kitchen so I wouldn’t know the supplier. Your not likely to get this type of cabinet from a mass supplier like howdens or magnets; you need a smaller supplied direct kitchen company like Impress kitchens in Croydon who manufacture everything to order and so will make the cabinets to fit the space rather than standard sizes and colour combinations

Somewhere in the region of £35,000 to £40,000 would be a good starting point. I here labour is less in other parts of the country but in Greater London this would be about right.

These houses were built during the Victorian era of the industrial revolution so almost all of them have a alleyway to the rear which was used as a coal run. We just measured and cleared the alley then ordered machinery with retractable tracks to fit the access. Sometimes we can get a crane to carry the machinery over the building but only if doing a basement or something that justifies the expense. Thanks for the comment

There is 120mm of PIR insulation board above the ceiling. Our building regulations require the highest energy efficiency standards.

olivia rumflake I would depend on the regulations of your local authorities, here we can usually increase the size of the original building by 30-40%. Thanks

Cheryl Oldford It took 8 weeks for this particular project, including the internal alterations and finishes.
